Versilia

The name Versilia has become over the years synonymous with beach holidays, with beaches long kilometers, beach resorts with high-level services and nightlife have made the fortune of Forte dei Marmi, a VIP resort of which everyone remembers the legendary nightclub La Capannina.

 Perhaps a little less snobby, but certainly no less effervescent, is the Lido di Camaiore, the lively seaside village of a pretty village at the foot of the Apuan Alps. If you are looking for a quieter place, suitable for families, head to Marina di Pietrasanta. Viareggio is the only seaside town in Versilia that attracts tourists even in winter, thanks to its historic Carnival. An elegant holiday resort, rich in Art Nouveau buildings, it is also suitable for young people due to the presence of many nightclubs.

antro-del-corchia

4 Activities with the little ones

The Grotta Turistica Antro del Corchia today represents the largest known underground environment in Italy and one of the largest on the continent.

It is a complex of galleries, wells and halls dug from the water in millions of years inside the marble heart of Monte Corchia.

To date, about 70 km of caves and 20 different entrances have been explored and mapped on each side of the mountain, but the explorations are constantly evolving and speleologists continue to discover new rooms and new beauties hidden in marble.

The tourist route winds, through a steel walkway, for about two kilometers, passing through some of the most evocative places of the cave, through stalactite woods and halls tens of meters high.

The visit is recommended for children over three years of age and in the absence of problems with walking and acute heart disease.


An unforgettable experience for the whole family

5 With your loved one

Share with your partner a day of canyoning or canyoning in Versilia is aimed at those who want to practice or try the activity of descent of the streams following the course along the waterways that over the millennia have slowly dug the bed in the rock of mountains.

It’s a fun sport that takes place in a wild environment, between rope drops, slides and jumps.

The Apennines and the Apuan Alps contain real jewels suitable for this activity increasingly known and practiced in recent years.

It is a fascinating activity that can be carried out in groups and is aimed at people who in the summer months look for a day in "cool" places away from the crowding of the beach.

Torre del Lago is an important village in the municipality of Viareggio. The city center and its marina are destinations of strong summer tourism attracted by the beauty of the place.

Torre del Lago is also famous for the famous Puccini Festival that every year is held at the auditorium built on the shores of Lake Massaciuccoli. The full name of the town is in fact Torre del Lago Puccini in honor of the famous composer who spent most of his life in the small Tuscan town.

The beach of Torre del Lago, beyond the equipped establishments,, is also well known: it is in fact the beach of Lecciona: perhaps the last Italian beach that still maintains its natural state. It is inserted in the park of Migliarino (and San Rossore) and does not have any equipment: note how however is guaranteed by the municipality a surveillance service during the summer.

The beach attracts many tourists every year, fascinated by the beauty of the place and the famous dunes covered with vegetation.

In addition to the enchanting opera and the beach, we recommend a visit to the lake that you can do on foot through a path surrounded by greenery, also suitable for families with children.
